“I’ve been really enjoying NC State University because of the community, new experiences, and the opportunity to learn so many new things! This is different than what I expected, and I have surprised myself by jumping out of my comfort zone in many aspects!” Kaleigh Aull, graduate of BC Early College HS, attending NC State University

“I’m in the process of changing my major to Biology with Life Sciences intent. NC State has given me so many opportunities to meet new people! I never would have thought joining a sorority, getting involved at a university, and living on campus would give me my best friends.” Hailey Myers, graduate of North Brunswick HS, attending NC State University

“ECU’s been awesome so far. I’ve met a bunch of new people and really started to feel at home here. I’m learning a lot, both in class and just from being on my own for the first time. It’s definitely been more exciting and social than I expected!” Gavin Caison, graduate of West Brunswick HS, attending East Carolina University

“UNCW has been such a welcoming and inspiring place. I’ve learned a lot about independence and time management, and also about connecting with people who share similar goals. College life is definitely more challenging than I expected, but it’s also more rewarding.” Piper Geddings, graduate of South Brunswick HS, attending UNC Wilmington
